I can concur this. Initially thinking of getting a M3 HB to replace my civic.

However after test drive twice, I felt civic has more ommph.

Reason being smaller fuel tank. Visit more, buy dint pump as much right?

Yes I let my car "0" before already....and further go for another 5-10KM... still pump in around 44L only

anyone know when will the mazda 3 skyactiv launch in malaysia?     
attention @ 0:45, its so cool

Some say End of next year.. Some say 2013.. Will it be more expensive than the current ?

I doubt they will give u any clue.. Lol... They don't wanna destroy their sales by telling you when the new Mazda 3 will launch in Malaysia right? Hahaha..

soncin automobile.kinda suck for an authorised service dealer.i need to pay extra rm150 if i want to upgrade to helix ultra.i think prima merdu in penang need top up only rm130++.i've contacted Bermaz, they agreed that i actually dont need to pay labour fee since im still under free service maintenance.screw those bloodsucker

dear new buyer of M3
make sure u all buy windscreen insurance
a lot of our members windscreen crack during driving
and i one of the victim 

Good post there bro.... totally agree with you regarding the bold part there.... but it's not limited to gear box only of course... we can try to ........ (fill in the box) other stuffs as well, not limited to gearbox   

Regarding the issues of the gear box, I am not sure whether I am experience it with my car or not? I do not pay that much attention to the driving issues

But one thing I did notice is that, for sedans, I am not sure about hatchbacks, the CKD rear passengers doors are much much lighter compare to CBU units. This really irritates me, do they really need to go till this extent just for the sake of cutting some costs off?

when mazda 3 with skyactiv available here?
